I second this. Tried out the SpyderX and it was inconsistent and inaccurate. Got a Calibrite Display Pro - way worth the extra cost.
Got the display pro too which has ended up great as my ASUS laptop has a built-in utility that auto-detects it, so do some high-end colourist monitors at a hardware level.
I had to return mine as the colour was way out with my OLED monitor. Tried everything to get it working right.
You can get a base model Calibrite for ~$10 more.
If buying this recommend using DisplayCAL
Yep, the open-source calibration software is much better than vendor provided garbage.
i have a Xrite ColorMunki Smile, would this be an upgrade?
No
Stupid question, would this be suitable for calibrating LG OLED CX 65" TV?
I believe you need a windows PC connected to it.
I have one of those, and it utilises GPU lut table in order to correct the colour.
This software runs on the laptop, and communicates with the TV via network, adjusting the settings on the TV. You won’t need the PC after calibration. https://calmankb.groovehq.com/help/calman-home-for-lg-walkth…
Sadly, I don’t see this specific meter listed
Found this model is mentioned here;
https://calmankb.groovehq.com/help/calman-home-supported-har…Also on the product page under specifications tab.
https://store.portrait.com/consumer-software/calman-home-for…@Drakster: I did a search on those pages when I posted that for Elite, no hits, but yeah maybe it is supported under SpyderX
Apple TV and the iPhone can do the job
That only calibrates the output of the AppleTV. It does not change the settings on your TV. So all other inputs and broadcast TV will still not be accurate.
Not that i have an iPhone or Appletv but couldn't you just apply values across all inputs or are you talking about the actual Appletv unit settings?
@Batapotamus: The Apple TV has a feature that uses the phone to try and get it right. It adjusts its own output.
Apple TV’s new screen calibration feature can make the color accuracy and image quality worse
The takeaway here is that the Apple TV’s color calibration feature is certainly not a replacement for professional TV calibration.
and
On the Samsung QLED TV, he found that while it did improve the overall color accuracy, it incorrectly shifted the image to a cooler bluer tone.
On the Sony LED TV, the feature made the color accuracy worse than the TV’s factory setting and also made the image too blue.
On the LG OLED, the calibration feature did the best job by improving color accuracy and not making the image cooler, however, Teoh points out that it’s “nowhere near the accuracy of a properly conducted calibration using specialized tools.” The factory image of the LG OLED had an average delta error value of 3.5 which was improved to 1.94 by the Apple TV’s calibration, while professional calibration brought that down much further to 0.78
I had a spyder5express, wasn't good, wildly inconsistent calibrations each time… kind of put me off this brand, recommend sticking to calibrite.
